Partner API · v1

Your CRM closes the deal.
We send back the report.

A documented REST API for inspection work. Create an inspection when a job is won, assign an inspector, and get the finished client report link back by signed webhook — without anyone re-typing an address.

The full reference is public. No sales call, no NDA, no “request access” form before you can tell whether it fits.

inspection.status.delivered
{
  "externalReference": "zoho-deal-4471902",
  "reportNumber":      "INS-2026-0091",
  "clientName":        "Johan Meyer",
  "reportUrl":         "https://app.inspectforge.com/public/…"
}

The whole reference is published

Authentication, scopes, every endpoint with a worked request and response, the webhook event catalogue with signature verification, and a complete Zoho CRM walkthrough you can paste and adapt. Read it before you talk to us — you should be able to tell whether this fits without booking a call.

The whole integration

Three calls and a webhook

That is the entire loop, and the order matters — each step feeds the next. Look up your templates and inspectors once and cache them; everything after that is per job.

  1. 1

    Match the property

    Your CRM has a street address, not our identifier. Send the address and get a property back — existing if we have seen it, new if we have not.

    POST /api/v1/properties

    {
      "address":     "27 Kloof Road",
      "unit":        "Unit 12",
      "complexName": "Kloof Manor",
      "suburb":      "Bantry Bay",
      "city":        "Cape Town",
      "country":     "South Africa"
    }
  2. 2

    Create the inspection

    Template, property, inspector and appointment. Pass your own deal ID as externalRef and the call becomes safe to retry — a re-fired workflow returns the existing inspection instead of a duplicate.

    POST /api/v1/inspections

    {
      "templateId":  "adac3780-…",
      "property":    { "id": "64fa6854-…" },
      "scheduledAt": "2026-09-10T08:30:00+02:00",
      "externalRef": "zoho-deal-4471902"
    }
  3. 3

    Get the report back

    Subscribe once to inspection.status.delivered. When the inspector publishes, we call you — signed, and retried if your endpoint blinks.

    POST → your endpoint

    {
      "eventType":         "inspection.status.delivered",
      "externalReference": "zoho-deal-4471902",
      "reportNumber":      "INS-2026-0091",
      "reportUrl":         "https://app.inspectforge.com/public/inspections/414ac3f0…"
    }

Built for integrations that have to keep working

Signed webhooks

Every callback carries an HMAC-SHA256 signature over the exact bytes sent, so you can verify it came from us before you act on it.

Retried delivery

A failed callback is retried three times over roughly half an hour. Ordering is not guaranteed, so a reconciliation endpoint is provided too.

Scoped keys

Keys are organisation-scoped and least-privilege. A key that creates inspections cannot read your client list. Rotation leaves the old key valid for 72 hours.

Safe retries

Pass your own job ID as externalRef. Workflow rules re-fire constantly; the same reference returns the existing inspection instead of a duplicate.

Unambiguous times

An appointment must carry a UTC offset. Send it in any form and it lands on the same local wall clock — a bare timestamp is rejected rather than guessed.

Honest errors

Machine-readable codes with messages that name the field at fault. A record in another organisation returns 404, never 403.

Before you plan around it

What v1 does not do

Published here rather than discovered halfway through your build. If any of these blocks your integration, tell us — that is how the roadmap gets ordered.

  • Findings and line items

    You get the report link, not the report body.

  • Photos and media URLs

    Not exposed.

  • Updating or deleting an inspection

    Creates only. Corrections happen in the app.

  • Agreements and e-signatures

    Not exposed.

  • A payments API

    Payment webhooks exist; there is no payments endpoint.

Getting a key

No application process. The API is included on Pro and Business plans — an Owner or Admin creates a key in Settings → Integrations & API, chooses its scopes, and copies it once.
